The pace at which companies are migrating to the cloud is accelerating. The adoption of cloud environments, which was important even before the pandemic, has accelerated with the development of hybrid work and with other advantages of this technology, such as its scalability, the ability to be more agile in decision-making or its efficiency. However, this growth has not always been accompanied by greater investment in security policies, which has sometimes assumed that it is hyperscalers who inherently have to worry about protecting cloud assets.

And yet, according to Verizon’s latest report on its data breach investigation, lMost security incidents are related to the cloud. Despite this, organizations continue to focus most of their resources and efforts on protecting physical, local and local resources heritagewithout giving all the attention its cloud security deserves.

This is partly due to a certain resistance to change and a reluctance to accept the change in approach and strategy that improving the protection of these environments requires. In this sense, organizations must be aware that protecting their information in the cloud is different from protecting their information on-premise because:

• The cloud is ephemeral and scalable.
• The cloud is powered by APIs.
• The identity layer in the cloud is critical.
• The scope of logging is much greater in the cloud.
• There are opportunities for preprocessing in the cloud.

in “Threat Detection, Investigation and Response in the Cloud” developed by Google Cloud and Evolutio, you can learn why threat detection, investigation and response are different in these environments and how you can improve your security on your journey to the cloud.

And the cloud is an opportunity to rethink how we can achieve the goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability with the new opportunities created by cloud computing technologies and processes. Don’t miss it!
